I was in Georgia last month for the annual Pursuit Community conference. It’s the third year that I’ve spoken, but I’ve never written a recap. Because I never really know what to say. Last year, the theme was hope. I spoke on the very last night. And wept my way through it. On stage. In...
It was two o’clock in the morning and I had just woken up from a particularly nasty dream. I was in those tender moments between wakefulness and sleep, my phone tucked under my pillow with worship music softly filling the dark quiet and Josh’s heavy breathing next to me. And for an exhausted hour, I...
The day is finally here. I’ve looked at these 138 pages every which way, upside down, and backwards. And this morning, I approved the final proof! Treasures of Darkness is now available on Create Space, and will hit Amazon next week! Introducing Treasures of Darkness: A Nine Week Bible Study In 2011, Jane Johnson was...
It’s interesting that this weekend I swam in caves. Full of joy. Knowing now how true the words that form Ecclesiastes 3:11 are. Even though I wasn’t sure then. He makes everything beautiful in His time. After Shawna died, I took a break from my Bible. I gave myself the month of December to grieve,...
I was going to sleep one night, laying on my left side. I was in that comfortable place, barely awake, when my right ear became warm. As if someone was whispering in it. I like the idea that God was physically whispering in my ear. Speaking truths during that pocket of time between wakefulness and...
This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing your heart… What an incredible journey God has taken you on… and the richness of His word is SO AMAZING.
Hi Jane!
I have just stumbled across your blog because I was following Pursuit activity, and have now registered for next year’s conference! I am Canadian, and may be the only one there next year! But I have a magnetic draw to what is going on with creative sisters in the Lord down there, and have found your blog inspiring. I listened to your webinar on how to study the Word, and have ordered Study the Scriptures and even bought a new Bible this week! The depth your share with others, is something I feel inside of me to share through my blog, and in small groups. I have been a Christian ‘my whole life’ but am seeing trends (western society induced!) in other women my age, that makes me want to dig deeper and challenge women in the Lord more!
I just got married this summer, so am now in a new city, and I know that God has me here for such a time as this.
Just wanted to say I’ve been enjoying your writings and appreciate your vulnerability! Us women need to be more of it and share our rawness more I think! Thanks again..
